To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that 1, BERNARD PETCHAFT, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Suspenders, ofwhich the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in suspenders; and it consists inthe peculiar construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinaftermore fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawingsfl'orming partof thisspecification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures;

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of suspenders made inaccordance with my invention; and Fig. 2 shows a modified form of one ofthe front buckles, a suspenderstrap, and suspender-ends.

- The suspender-straps A A (see Fig. 1) are of the usual form, and arejoined together at the back, and provided with the buckle d, to whichthe suspender-ends B, made in separate pieces joined together by aneyelet, a, are secured by the tongue of the buckle d, passing throughthe eyelet a. The front buckles, O U, consist each of an upperbuckle-frame,f, provided with a cross-bar, and tongues adapted to beinserted in the suspender-strap A in the ordinary man ner, and a lowerbuckle-frame,

f, joined to the upper frame,f, by the parallel connecting-barsff, thusforming a double buckle-frame, made in one piece, or integral with eachother. The tongue of the lower buckle-frame,f, is adapted to engage inan eyelet, a, whichsecures together the suspenden ends B, each made in aseparate piece.

Fig. 2 shows amodification of the front double buckle-frame, in whichthe connecting- 4o,

barsf are dispensed with, and the tongue of the lower buckle-frame ishinged to the lower set forth.
